A surprising way to lose your files on Windows
Being a Linux user (Debian, Mate), I have never suffered "profile corruption". Or "lost" a file that I recall.
Is this a normal thing in Windows?

I have lost, dd'ing the main disk/partition by accident while creating boot usbs, several times

That is definitely a way to do it. DDing is scary to me.

Just because it didn't happen to you, doesn't mean it didn't happen to anybody else. I got hit by the ext4 empty-files-after-crash that corrupted my KDE profile back in the day.
